USA Daylight Savings Time and USA Standard Time:

Let us see how time changes in different time zones across USA. There are 9 different time zone observed in USA, and for explanation purpose, we take Eastern Standard Time (EST), Central Standard Time (CST), Mountain Standard Time (MST) and Pacific Standard Time (PST) in to account. Most of the states are in one time zone, but in few states, there are two different zones.

In Order to use the day light available, most of the states change their time from standard time to day light savings time. Daylight Savings Time (DST) begins 2 AM on second Sunday in March and ends 2 AM on first Sunday in November. After Daylight Savings Time ends, standard timing begins.

Note:If it is Daylight Saving Time, notation (acronym) ends with DT (example EDT); if it is standard timing, acronym ends with ST (EST).

Usually working hours in USA is between 8 AM to 5 PM.

To work across different time zones, few companies in Eastern Time Zone start working late at 9 AM EST and few companies in Pacific Time Zone start working earlier at 7 AM PST. When most of the staffing firms communicate with each other, they mention only standard time notation (ends with ST) irrespective of day light savings time or standard time.
